In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Rohan Gupta said he was troubled by senior Congress leaders associated with its Communication department
Days after withdrawing his candidature from the Ahmedabad East constituency in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Gujarat Congress leader Rohan Gupta on Friday quit the grand old party, alleging "constant humiliation" and “character assassination" in his resignation letter.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Rohan Gupta said he was troubled by senior Congress leaders associated with its Communication department.
His father who is battling with serious health conditions narrated the incidences of betrayal and sabotage for the last 40 years, he said.
Gupta stated that he is not ready to take any more assault on his self-esteem because the person who has humiliated him for the last two years will not refrain from doing it in the future and nobody will be able to stop him, the letter read.
On March 19, Rohan Gupta withdrew from the contest on Ahmedabad East Lok Sabha seat due to his father's serious medical condition.
Gupta was the Congress' national spokesperson and his name was in the list of candidates declared by the party on March 12.
All 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat will witness polling in a single phase on May 7 and vote counting will be held on June 4.
